                         CHAPTER 38-S.F.No. 390 
           An act relating to state lands; authorizing sale of 
          certain tax-forfeited land that borders public water 
          in Todd county. 
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
     Section 1.  [SALE OF TAX-FORFEITED LAND; TODD COUNTY.] 
     Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, section 282.018, Todd 
county may sell certain tax-forfeited land bordering public 
water, located in Todd county and described in this section, in 
the manner provided in this section and the appropriate 
appraisal, sale, and conveyance provisions for tax-forfeited 
land under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 282. 
    The land described in this section may be sold to the state 
for the use of the commissioner of natural resources or to the 
public for a consideration not less than its appraised value.  
The commissioner of natural resources may exercise the option to 
purchase the land for the state until October 1, 1989.  After 
October 1, 1989, the land may be offered for public sale under 
Minnesota Statutes, chapter 282.  The conveyance must be in a 
form approved by the attorney general. 
    The land that may be sold consists of 34,000 square feet, 
more or less, borders Big Sauk Lake in Todd county, and is 
located in Section 23, Township 127 North, Range 33 West, and is 
described as:  Lot 4, Block 1, of Scenic Valley, Big Sauk Lake 
Addition. 
    Since the land, which has about 100 feet of lake frontage, 
forfeited to the state in 1985, the buildings on the property 
have deteriorated, been vandalized, and decreased in value.  The 
county has no use for the property and finds that it would be 
put to better use following sale. 
    Sec. 2.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
    Section 1 is effective the day following final enactment.
